Re: Younger Residents
There is a misconception as to the 80% must be over 55. The law states that:
l. A resident or tenant occupying a home must be 55 or older (a spouse can be any age.)
2. An owner can be under 55 but can only spend a few weeks per year.
3. The developer can make a hardship exception, but in no case can the number of 55 and younger be LESS THAN 80%. That is where the misconception comes in. Three years ago I filed a complaint with Mr. Morse and his attorney that the Villages Sales Dept. was selling to ones under 55. They both agreed that this was wrong and he would notify the Sales Dept. At time, the practice was supposed to have ended. (that doesn't mean there aren't slip ups.
4. Since the deed restrictions spell this out, you can notify the district office of any violations....they will follow through. I know, because I filed a complaint and the tenant had to move out.
